Snow vs. Graduate School

[Snow]

Thanks everyone for all of the wonderful support! You guys have really helped me get through this challenge and I hope to keep up with you all going into the next one!

 

Here's my challenge summary:

 

After-action Report:

 

Goal 1: Gym 4x a week (2+krav maga training): 100%

Every week, I managed to make it to the gym 4 times, 2 of which were krav maga classes. Not only do I feel about 10% more dangerous than when this challenge started, I look great. How often does your family ask (unprompted) if you've lost weight? How often do your friends randomly ask about your workout routine because they think you look great? Not often. But this has started happening!!! I'm very excited.

+1 DEX

 

Goal 2: Get on a semi-regular schedule: 118.75%

Whew... at first getting into work by 8:30 was a struggle, but once I got the going to bed earlier bit down it became so much easier to get up earlier. Overall, my productivity at work has also gotten better (getting in before everyone else = extra 2 hours of uninterrupted work time) which has improved relations with my adviser.

+1 CON
 

 

Goal 3: Get down to 138lbs or 20% BF (from ~145-148lbs/25% BF) (2lbs/ 0% BF to go)

My final weigh in this morning was 140.1lbs which would be a C from my original grading scale. However, this is about 6 stable pounds of weight loss, so I'm really pleased. I also ended up amending this goal to reflect my changing body composition. Starting from approximately 25% body fat, I'm now down to 19-20%. I look great and feel even better and definitely beat the BF goal, so I'm considering this beaten.

+1 CHA

 

Burpees: 1687 of 1300 (129.77%)

‘nough said. 

+1 STR

 

Overall: I seriously kicked this challenge's ass! It's time for some much awaited loot!!!

Other stat changes:

Hips: 42in ->40 1/2 in

Thighs: 24 1/2 in ->23 1/2in

Pullups: 3

 

I think it's also worth noting that I'm ordering a size smaller than when I started the challenge. :-)

 

 

Again, thank you all for your wonderful support and I hope you'll keep up with me as we embark on the next challenge!!!

I would totally watch a TV show where Vixen and Snow teamed up to be a crime-fighting duo. Seriously, can we make this happen? I'd like to make this happen bahaha!!

 

Great work on this challenge! That seems like some pretty sweet loot too.

 

Can't wait for next week's challenge together!!

That would be too awesome for words to describe. If not a TV show, then maybe a web comic. Too bad I can't draw...

 

 

I can't wait to watch you totally dominate this next challenge Hero! You're going to kick its ass. :-)

Ooooo that loot looks cool. And how awesome is it that you get to order them in a smaller size?! Way to go, you badass. (I love that 118.75% haha - that's one hell of a grade.)

[Jodi V]

First, I must confess -- these workouts you're doing scare me more than a little.    You are a badass!

 

Congrats on owning your first challenge!  Your loot is well-deserved!  Hope the bruises are healing nicely lol

 

Looking forward to following your progress in our next challenge!
